"Another instance where the rockists on this website skew the ratings of an album that deserves better. This is a seriously well crafted Spanish R&B album. Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's chemistry is astounding."  Reply

"Although the album is unfortunately overshadowed with the death of Ricky Wilson as well as a poor commercial performance, the fifth B-52's album is a hidden gem in their discography and contains some of their most fully realized material."  Reply

"If you want songs of love, longing and loss, they are here in spades. If you want some social commentary, check that box as well. Billy Bragg seemed to have invented his own genre with his early work. Pure, honest, emotional and poetic. In a word, "perfect"."  Reply

"Mestarin Kynsi succeeds in its variance. The long time lengths allow for the songs to move in interesting and diverse directions. Each track is granted a unique structure and instrumentation. "Uusi Teknokratia" mixes synths, guitars and pan flute into a ten minute epic. On a less favorable note, ..."  [+]  Reply

"When I first heard this album, I thought it was boring. But something kept drawing me back. And with each return, something new clicked. The amazing thing about Low is that with each album, a subtle change to their approach leads to a unique product. Drums & Guns effectively manages to utilize lo..."  [+]  Reply

"Essential if you really want to understand Mike's music. While the production is obviously pretty weak, it does have it's charm. Deeply personal and revealing and it took a lot of courage to come out with this. But it also comes off as therapeutic. Throw this on at a house party and watch people'..."  [+]  Reply
